Bug#372079: xserver-xorg-video-mga: can i help?

[gambarimasu+reportbug@gmail.com]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga
Followup-For: Bug #372079


i have been using the linux console for a while now.  i tried
downgrading to xfree86, but that broke the package manager (signal 11,
baby).  i'm hoping i won't have to install sarge or even ubuntu (to
see if they have a solution for g550 dvi).

so is there anything i can do to provide information to help with
this?

i note that the severity was downgraded, but i don't know why.

it would help if i knew a little more about the status of this driver
so that i could decide whether to steal drivers from ubuntu, tweak a
few settings, etc.

thanks.
